Durham,S Famous Mad Stone.
from Durham Tobacco Plant.

From Durham Tobacco Plant.
Rev. Alex. Walker and his wife are
friends of suffering humanity. They have
a mad stone that is justly famous. A few
months ago the Plant published an ac-
count of a wonderful cure effected by
means of this stone. A day or two ago
another sufferer had reason to bless the
stone Old Mr. Billy May, who lives near
the Durham and Wake line can testify to
the truth of the statement here given.
About two weeks ago his daughter or
grand daughter was bitten by mocoasin
She began to swell, a doctor was called in,
he treated her two weeks, and she gradu-
ally grew worse. A few days ago her
throat and face began to swell, and she
was in danger of going into convulsions.
Mr.. May came to Durham, got the mad
stone, carried it home and applied it. 1t
adhered at once; as soon as 1t was fully
charged it fell off. 1t was then placed in
warm water for few minutes, giving off
the poison. 1t was applied again and again
for two days. From the first application
the young lady began to experience relief
and the swpling in her throat and face
began to subside. At last the stone would
not adhere at all, showing that the last
trace of poison had been taken up. Mr.
May in great joy brought the stone back
to Mr.. Walker. On his way hs Met the
doctor going to visit the young lady.
'You needn't go, Doctor, she is in the cot
ton patch picking cotton" Mr.. May Is
loud in his praise of the work of the mad
stone, and the Doctor says it is the most
wonderful little rock he ever saw. The
young lady was bitten on the ankle, and
the stone was applied to an eruption neal
the bite, for the bite was healed.

HdySs anu els w no Is the AuthOr.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLE.l
Allow me just one word more about the
authorship of the following stanza:
"What though no grants of royal donors
With pompous titles grace our blood;
Well shine in more substantial honors,
And to be noble We'll be good"
In the last issue Of the CHRONICLE, Mr.
John w. Hays, having found the lines in
Percy's Reliques, conjectures that Percy
himself was the author, and adds, "Now,
though have not given with certainty
the name of the author OF the lines in
question, think have come as near to
it as practicable at this day, and shall
claim that Mr.. Smith fulfill his promise in
behalf of the the CHRONICLE, if he is not
already a subscriber"
In reply, l am glad to say that am
"already a subscriber" to the CHRONICLE
with little likelihood, prospective, of ever
ceasing to be. Yet were l not sub
scriber Mr.. Hays article, genial and inter
esting as it is, would fail to enroll me, for
he is is entirely wrong in attributing the
lines to Bishop Percy. l referred in my
first article to a ''dust-covered, dog cared
volume" from which this quotation was
made; this volume is one of an old series
of "British Poets, with Lives of the Au-
thors," edited in 1919 by Ezekiel Sanford
The special volume in question, which is
the twenty-eighth in the series, con
tains the poems of John Gilbert Cooper
and sketch ot his life. Among these po
ems-and their authorship cannot be queS-
tiOned-occurs the ''Song to Winifreda'
which Mr.. Hays enormously attributes to
Percy.
Cooper was born in 1928 and died in
1869. He wrote his ''Song to Winifreda,' y
just ten years before Percy's Reliques ap
peared; his Tomb of Shakespeare writ
ten few years later, probably shows him
at his best, though all his writings exhibit,
in their stiff and artificial dictiOn, unn is
taxable evidence of French lnfiuelce-an
influence that tainted nearly all the Eng
lish poetry of the century Cooper be
longed to the Shaftesbury school of think
ers, was Il sworn enemy of Warburton,
and seryie admirer of Mark AkenSlde.
whose pleasures of Imagination still
floods, with many other kindred corpses,
on the sea of standard works.
Having never found so much as the bare
mention of Coopers name in any English
Literature, | inferred that his tenure on
posterity was based solely on the brief
sketch of him given IN the series OF Brit
ish poets" above referred to: and it was
simply through curiosity to know how
many copies of this old series We're eXtant,
that | was led to offer myself as a sub
scrber to any newspaper that would first
identify the lines.
There is another writer, more modern
and more gifted, about the circulation of
whose works | am somewhat curious. So
| will repeat my offer of subscription to
any editor in his State who will first iden-
tify the following couplet, by giving the
author and the heading of the poem from
which it is taken:

Writing to the Wilmington Messenger
has some old fogies who could, without
the least loss be swapped for yellow
dog, and then with equal advantage the
latter could be killed."
Commenting on this statement the
Statesville Landmark says: History repeats
itself. In the seventeenth century Galileo
advanced the theory that the sun is i'm
movable in the centre of the earth and the
earth revolves daily around it. For so
holding and teaching he was summoned
to Rome where the Sacred College pro-
nounced his theory ''absurd in philosophy,
and formally heretical, because expressly
contrary to Holy scriptures" And Gal
ieo was put in confinement and only es-
capped the torture of the inquisition by
recantation.
Only two or three years ago Mr.. Walter
II. Page wrote that there are "mummies'
in North CAROLINA who are clog upon her
prosperity. For SO writing he was attack
ed with unexampled fierceness and was
practically ostracised. Yet in this year Of
our Lord, Col. Olds writes that there are
| mummies in North Carolina and even in
| Raleigh (only he calls them fogies) and
for two whole weeks the statement has
gone unchallenged-not voice has been
lifted to reprove him nor pen TO stab him.

Holy Trinity church to pay 81, 900 for i'm
porting preacher. The Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury referred the matter
to the U. S. District Attorney, who has
given the question thorough investigation.
He says that his first impressions were that
suit could not be brought, but that, after
a careful examination of the law and the
facts, he has decided that it is his duty to
bring it.
His opinion is most interesting in that,
running through it, is the strongest kind
of an argument against a Protective Tariff.
The absurdity of such a tariff is shown
conclusively. We make the following ex-
tract
The purpose of Congress in passing the
bill was obviously an effort to apply the
doctrine of the protective tariff to the
commodity known as labor. 1t is protec-
tion for the sake of protection, not for the
to our tariff legislation. 1t is not for me
to say, therefore, when varieties of that
commodity known as singing, lecturing
and acting are excepted from its provisions
and the variety known as preaching is not
excepted, that there was manifest error
on the part of Congress in not making
this exception. 1t may be true that in all
probability if committee of preachers
had had the ear of th. chairman of the
committee on ways and means just before
the bill was reported, an exception in their
behalf would have been inserted in the
bill. With this probability have nothing
to do
''This statute, like every other statute
in our tariff system, bears the marks
of CARELESSNEss, SELFISH Personal INTER-
EST, AND ALL MANNER OF INvIDIOUS DIS
ORDINATIONS. 1t is not the business of an
officer of the government to endeavor to
go behind the written law in search Of ex-
ceptions or notifications in statutes of
this character He may personally know
or believe, as he reads down the list of
dutiable commodities, that they were all
arranged under the pressure of conflicting
personal interests, and bear the marks of
varying success in the efforts of the respec-
tive advocates before Congress. He con-
cludes from such a perusal for instance
that the bOraX committee was probably on
hand when the time came, but that the
alum committee missed the train; the
wool men are always with US, but where
were the mineral water men when it got
on the free list?

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 1SS1.-Great influ-
ences are at work to send capital and
thrifty people to North Carolina. The citi-
zens of your State have manifested a de-
sire to get both. There is no question but
that the Old North State stands higher in
the estimation of those who have money
in large or small sums to invest, than any
other in Dixie land, and deservedly so,
for no other State has such splendid com
binations of natural resources, or has ia
ken wiser measures to make them known
to the world. But alas. there is no State
in the Union whose very few members of
the learn nothing family are doing SO much
to merit it. In my wanderings around
here to see the sights of Gotham, and to
learn what l could about the several move
ments afoot that would be of interest to
your readers between Murphy and Man
teo, l have been shown two things that
seriously annoyed me. To-day | encoun-
tered an old friend who has persistently,
for five years, worked for North Carolina.
He recently advertised for speciality in
the way of land. 1t was explicitly worded
and meant from k2 to $5 per acre. He has
had any number of offers of such proper
ties in the last five days, and the prices
ranged from $40 to $50 an acre. In other
words, the people who responded to his
advertisements gave this gentleman, as
sharp and clever a business man as there
| is in New York, credit for being family
| connection of their own.
Too much of this kind of things has
happened in the last few years. To GER
tain extent it has neutralized the splendid
work done during the administration of
Governors Jarvis and Scales. and Of the
Department of Agriculture and the Bu-
reau of Immigratian, under both. Cannot
the live and progressive and State-oving
editor of the CHRONICLE use his endeavors
and exert his wide influence to put a stop
to the foolery of this rather small but
very active family, which is hurting every
| North Carolina interest? O.

'Tis better than merriest play,
And sweeter than earliest dew;
Its pleasure will ne'er pass away,
'T'is short and is instantly done,
And before I'm half through you will say
'Tis the height of enjoyment and fun"'
The curly haired maiden stood by,
With coquettiSh curl. of her lips,-
AS much as to say:,'COue and try,

THE ARSJRDITY OF PROTEC-

There is a law on the u. S. statute book,
approved Feb. 25th, 1885, 'prohibiting the
Importation or immigration of aliens un-
der contract under a penalty of 1000
Some months ago a Mr.. Jno. S. Kennedy,
of New York, hired man ia Scotland to
come over to do some work in Kentucky.
The man from Scotland declared in Castle
Garden that he came here under contract,
and. the Collector refusing to let him land,
he was forced to return to Scotland. MI.
Kennedy made up his mind that he would
try to have the law repealed. To do this it
was necessary to select some case which
might create public interest. He had not
long to wait. In September Rev. E. Wal
pole Warren came over from England un-
der an engagement as pastor of Holy Trim
ity church, of New York. Clearly this was
a violation of the bald words of the act,
and Mr.. Kennedy called the attention OF
the proper authorities to this importation
under contract and requested that they
bring an action to test the law.
The newspapers at first made light OF
Mr. Kennedy and his attempt to compel

From Tarboro Southerner.l
The 122nd Annual Session of this body
convened Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
October 1st, End and 3rd, with the church
at Skewarkey, one mile south of Williams
ton, Martin county, n. &.
Twenty seven ordained ministers, from
nine Associations, and four States, (N. o.,
Ga. Nd, and Pa. ) were present, and the
attendance of people on Sunday was esti-
mated to be about four thousand. Out Of
81 Churches in the kehukee Association,
33 were represented. The preaching was
from a stand temporarily erected in the
grove, and the seats for the people were
arranged around the stand. A dlstln-
guished minister from a distant State pub
licly declared that he had never before
seen better order in so large cOngrega-
ton.
Elders VIM A Ross, VIM. Woodland and
L. n. Hardy, OF N. c., preached on Satur-
day. Elders A. W. Patterson. OF Ga, S.
H. Durand, of Pa. and F. A. Chick, of
Md, Sunday; and Elders j. c. Williams,
of Ga, and J. S. cameron, and P. D..

preached Saturday night, and Elder Du-
rand Sunday night, to large audiences in
the Court House in Williamson. L
The Kehukee Association was organized
in 1868, and is the oldest Primitive Bap-
tist Association in the United States.
Kehukee Church, near Scotland Neck,
Halifax county, n. c., was formed in 1 TAP,
and is the oldest in the Association.
Welsh Tract Church, near Newark, N. j.,
was formed in Wales in 1901, and then
emigrated in body to this country, and
is the Oldest Primitive Baptist Church in
the United States. There are now IN the
United States, 240 Primitive Baptist Asso-
OH =
500 Churches, and /, 400 ordained minis
ters, mostly in the South and West. The
doctrine which they believe and advocate
is that of the London Baptist Confession
of Faith (of 16S9,) and the Westminster
Presbyterian) Confession of Faith Q649),
both of which Confessions maintain the
absolute predestination of the people of
God to eternal salvation. The Primitive
Baptists claim to believe this doctrine both
theoretically and practically; but they
also believe that salvation is FROM SIN and
NOT IN SIN, and Is PERFECTLY FREE TO ALL
WHO DESERVE IT.
The next session of the Kehukee Asso-
citation is appointed to be held, Providence
permitting. with the Church at Flatty
Creek, in Pasquotank county, N. c., the
first Sunday in October, 1888, with the Sat
urdav proceeding aud Monday following.
